Welcome!

Welcome to the official blog of Dont Bully My Breed!  Bookmark us for updates on breed-specific legislation, news about our organization, adoptable dogs, educational articles, and more!

Behind the Scenes:
There will be two main contributors to the DBMB blog.
Catherine Hedges (CH), the founder and president of DBMB, will be posting on occasion.  Catherine has been involved with rescue for 12 years, having previously ran a Chicago no-kill shelter that truly blazed the trail for responsible pit bull adoptions, not to mention evaluating and placing dog fighting victims before other groups made it "trendy" to do so.

Karla Bentcover (KB), myself, is the webmaster for DBMB. I have been volunteering with DBMB for almost 2 years come this spring.  I was not new to rescue when I first started became involved with DBMB. My initial contact with DBMB came when I was trying to find rescue for a handful of pit bulls at my local kill shelter.  Catherine helped me find rescue for these dogs, and beyond.  I started off with updating Petfinder.com, and am now the main "behind-the-scenes" person in the organization.  I update several pet adoption sites, update our general website, and run the Facebook page. 

Catherine and I disagree on a few things, agree on many, and together (along with many other volunteers), we make DBMB a unique collaborative effort.  We hope this blog will increase awareness of our organization, exist as an educational resource for pit bull related literature, provide alerts and resources for those fighting breed specific legislation, and become a catalyst in our efforts to find homes for sound, homeless pit bulls and bully dogs.
